Oatmeal

-


Ever had a fresh fruit oatmeal? Its so much better than the store bought one that comes in a box with all types of preservatives. Much healthier and far more tasty. Did you know that oatmeal helps reduce cholesterol, reduces high blood pressure  and is full of antioxidants? Those are a few of the many great qualities of oatmeal.

I put oatmeal in my protein shakes, in making my desserts , oatmeal raisin cookies etc. Love all types of fruits in my oatmeal.

Make the oatmeal as directed on the oatmeal jar. By simply putting in about 1 cup milk and 1/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal in a pot and cooking in on low medium heat for about 6 minutes or until it thickens and oatmeal is soft. Then I add in my sugar and whatever flavors I want.

I've done it before with cinnamon sticks inside the oatmeal and allowing it to cook together with the oatmeal to let off a small cinnamon flavor, done it with sprinkling ground cinnamon on top once the oatmeal is done for a slightly stronger cinnamon taste. I've also done my oatmeal with all sorts of fresh sliced fruits and throwing it inside whilst its cooking. Fruits like fresh cut strawberries, blueberry oatmeal ( Imagine how much antioxidants this bad boy has.... two of foods most high in antioxidants combined) also done it as pictured above where I cooked the oatmeal normally and then shredded an entire apple and threw it inside once cooked...

Super delicious the apples give it a natural sweetness and has a little crunch to it. Another way you can enjoy your oatmeal is by adding a tsp of chopped pecans or walnuts to the oatmeal after being cooked.

As you can see there are many ways to enjoy your oatmeal. If something is healthy for you. Why not find a way to love it. After all its these kinds of things that prolong your healthy living.


Heres a picture of my beautiful mother... Sorry mom but gotta share your age with the world. She is 52 years old and look how phenomenal she looks. Amazing... Everywhere I go people ask her if she's my sister. One of the many reasons she looks this good at her age is because of her healthy eating. If you want to live long and remain beautiful as you grow older. Healthy eating is definitely the way.

                           


Breakfast is hands down. The most important meal of the day. Eat a good breakfast full of nutrition and you can't go wrong. Your entire day will be filled with energy and smarter decisions as this healthy, delicious strong breakfast will also provide fuel to your brain; just as it does to your body to get you up and going better.

From my kitchen to yours
God bless

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
